Chapter 6: The Wrong Fight
Athena starts to check on Fefnir and few others. Rose helps her as there are some calls coming in. Fefnir, Athena and few others have been active lately. Most are CROSHA related. Some are not but it is something minor. Zero walks in and sees Athena finishing up Fefnir's check up.
"Ok you are set to go," said Athena as Fefnir hops out of the table. Fefnir flexes for a while.
"The circuits felt better than previous times," said Fefnir as he turns to Zero. Athena also turns to Zero.
"Ah Zero do you need any help," asked Athena. Zero looks at Athena with cold sets of eyes.
"Yeah, stay away from me," said Zero coldly. Athena and Fefnir has a questionable look on their face.
"Are you sure you are alright? Because I can-" said Athena as Zero grabs her arm. Fefnir has a shock look as he does not know what to do.
"I said stay away from me. I do not want you to go through my DNA at all," said Zero.
"I haven't went through anyone's DNA for years. Zero what is going on? Why are you acting like this?" asked Athena.
"Zero please let go of my wife or I will fire at you," said Fefnir as he pulls out his buster at Zero. Zero throws Athena to the side and fires several shots at Fefnir. Athena sees this and starts to get mad.
"Hey leave Fefnir alone. He did not do anything to you," shouted Athena. Zero looks at her.
"He did try to kill me back at Neo Arcadia," said Zero. Athena looks at Zero mad as she hears this.
"That was like several hundreds of years ago," said Athena, "And you were no grand prize either."
"At least I was not a maverick scientist," said Zero. Athena heard that and start to snap. Athena internal systems were in fire. Athena goes up to Zero and punch him in the face. Zero goes flying and lands on the hallway in front of Iris, Ceil, Colette, Moonflower, and Solar Flare. Fefnir stands there in shock. Zero gets up and looks at Athena.
"So I see how that goes," said Zero and goes after Athena with his sword. Athena still mad at Zero and knocks him back down.
"COME ON HOTHEAD YOU ARE COMING WITH ME!!" shouted Athena as she drags Zero to a training room puts a sign says 'Anger Management in session do not disturb'. Iris, Ceil, Solar Flare, Moonflower, and Colette wonders what is going on.
"Fefnir?? What has happen?" asked Iris. Fefnir stands there in shock. He turns around and looks at Iris.
"Zero pissed off my wife. Normally I root for my wife, but this is Zero. She is fighting, so I do not know what is the outcome," said Fefnir.
"Zero," said Iris and Ceil as they both start running to a room where it says Anger Management in progress do not disturb. Iris, Ceil, and Fefnir runs to the door. Colette, Moonflower, and Solar Flare stands outside making sure that no one goes in there.
"ZERO!!" shouted both Iris and Ceil in unison. Zero does not pay attention to the two girls. Zero keeps on charging against Athena while Athena gains knowledge of the fight.
"This is bad. Zero is going to kill her," said Iris. Ceil stands there watching the fight.
"What can we do? I am afraid someone is going to get hurt," said Ceil. Zero keeps on attacking and everyone heard a huge blast sound. Zero is in the wall and Athena still has her eyes set on Zero. Colette, Moonflower, and Solar Flare goes in and sees the damage. Zero gets up and keeps on going after Athena.
"Athena watch out," shouted Fefnir as he watches the fight. Zero comes in full force to Athena using what ever abilities he has.
"This is bad. Athena may be love of my life but I know Zero's fighting style a tad. Athena may ended up in the scrap yard," said Fefnir.
"I take it he keeps kicking your butt," said Colette. Fefnir looks at the person who looks like Ceil.
"Colette you have your gun with you. Can you scare them both to make them not to fight each other?" asked Moonflower. Colette pulls out her gun and tries to miss both at them. When she thinks she has a good shot where none of them gets hurt. One is in the way.
"Shoot it would be easier if I can shoot them but missing them both as they see a bullet flying is hard," said Colette. Just then Zero flies towards Iris.
"Iris watch out," shouted Moonflower. Colette grabs Iris out of the way as Zero's saber hit Colette. Colette fires six rounds at Zero. X and Axl come in together looking at the fight.
"What is going on here?" asked X. Axl looks around and see Athena pretty much mad. Zero gets up and goes after Athena again.
"Zero what are you doing?" asked X as he does not know what is going on. Fefnir looks at X.
"Master X," said Fefnir as X turns to Fefnir. Fefnir knows what has happen and want X to know.
"What is it Fefnir?" ask X. Axl stands around watching the fight and looks at Iris and Ceil.
"I never thought Zero would go into the medical ward when Athena would fix me up. He hold Athena hostage for a while until I warned him to let her go. He actually knock me out to the side. Athena gets up and defends me. Then Zero should not call Athena one word that will piss her off," said Fefnir.
"What word is that?" asked Axl. Fefnir looks at the reploid and looks at X. Then at the fight.
"There is certain words would shrug off Athena. There is one word she really hates. I almost lost my life from her. This is when she is still a child-like body reploid," said Fefnir.
"What word is it??" asked Axl as he is anxious. Colette tries to cover her wounds as Zero keeps on attacking Athena.
"What would you call a reploid that has gone rogue," said Fefnir. Axl looks at Fefnir.
"A rogue reploid," said Axl as he catch Zero. Zero gets back up and X tries to hold Zero.
"Zero please stop now," said X as he flies across the room by Zero. Zero goes back to his fighting.
"X!!," shouted Iris and Ceil in unison. Axl gets up feeling in so much pain and looks at everyone.
"Master X are you alright," said Fefnir. X looks at the fire reploid who is trying to help him up.
"Yeah but this is strange. Zero has not went this far to attack anyone," said X, "I know him too well."
"Not only that he is not hearing Iris's plea," said Fefnir. Iris keeps her eyes cover as she cannot watch anymore.
"He needs to be stop," said X. Just then, both Zero and Athena starts to glow. Zero glows bright red as Athena glows bright blue.
"Oh shit, this is not good," said Fefnir. After that Zero comes close to Athena and his saber almost connect to Athena. Athena moves in a fast pace that it is hard for one to keep up. Athena has connected something sixteen to eighteen times. Zero finally goes down as Athena stands there.
"Athena stop. You have done enough," said Fefnir. Athena sparks a while and falls down. Fefnir goes and catch Athena before she hit's the floor.
"Zero!!" shouted Iris and Ceil as they both picks up Zero. Iris starts to cry out of worriness.
"Athena," said Fefnir softly. Athena looks at Fefnir with worriness that something bad happen.
"Fefnir… Is Zero is alright??" asked Athena. Fefnir looks at Athena with a smile as he looks at her.
"He is fine. You manage to knock him out," said Fefnir. Athena feels relieve after hearing that.
"He needs a check up take him to the medical ward. I need to see what cause him to do this to his friends," said Athena. Fefnir gets Athena up and walks to Zero.
"Fefnir you wouldn't-" said Iris. Fefnir grabs Zero up in his shoulders and looks at the two ladies.
"Athena wants to have his systems check. She finds his behavior too odd. So having his systems check would help everyone out," said Fefnir. Colette walks up to Athena.
"Need any help," said Colette as she notice Athena walks slowly. Athena looks at her injuries.
"I am fine. I just need few minutes to recover. I am worried for Zero. I do want his systems check first. Something tells me that I may find something that is not supposed to be there," said Athena.
"Ok well in the mean time both Moonflower and I are going to wait around with Iris and Ceil. Both of them need news about Zero," said Colette. Athena smiles as she looks at the person in front.
"Yes I will let them know. However, I am going to work on Zero right now," said Athena as she left.
